American’s killing spree prompted by wife’s cooking

FOR months, Stanley Neace had shown increasing hostility to his neighbours in rural eastern Kentucky, to the point his landlord started eviction proceedings.

Then he snapped over how his wife cooked his eggs, and killed her and four others with a shotgun before shooting himself.

Neighbours in the roadside mobile home park said Neace stormed across several lawns in his pyjamas on Saturday and fired dozens of shots from a 12-gauge pump shotgun.
